Theme: Pirate
Occasion: Toddler’s Lunch
Style: Fun, Rustic
Color Scheme: Black, White and Sand
I stopped by the Dollar Store and found these children’s pirate vests inspirational for a pirate themed toddler’s lunch.
One of my main rules of table setting and decor in general, is not to over-theme. It creates confusion and doesn’t allow the theme to actually stand out.
Once again, my aged wood tabletop is the perfect backdrop to create a beach feel. I then place these shell trimmed woven mats with the matching coasters which I had purchased on a cruise to The Bahamas. I thought I’d never use them because they’re a little too small to anchor dinner plates but they work beautifully with toddler size plates (or salad plates).
I then set the black runner horizontally to add more drama to the hurricane candle arrangement. This one I had actually purchased for a Halloween setting and it has a black and orange print on the front, so I turned it over and, voila!
I then place the black dishcloths, which I had also purchased for the Halloween setting, between the white salad and soup plates for contrast.
The mason jars with the twine ribbons and the black take out containers give this toddler’s setting the finishing touches worthy of the funnest meal for the scariest of pirates!
As a menu suggestion, I think the Ham and Cheese in Puff Pastry recipe by Ina Garten would be ideal!
I think this will be my theme for my 41st!!!!!! 😍
Very appropriate!
